CC system prompt is tuned for Sonnet 4/Opus

Why trying CC why not using alternatives like Opencode or Goose that are open and made for this purpose instead of trying to use a tool tailored by Anthropic for Anthropic models?

I guess "claude code but 20x cheaper" sells better; you can still use their subscription with other agents, just use their anthropic-compatible API
I have all the CC tokens I want at work and like the tool, but can't justify the cost at home for personal projects.

I've been using it with DeepSeek to great effect, and just took GLM 4.5 for a Saturday morning test drive and early results are even better.

In my experience, Claude Code even being designed for Claude Models, still do much better than other CLI alternatives.
Was thinking the same. opencode seems like a better dx for this kind of thing
